The community was destroyed in the summer of 1993 during the Great Missouri River Flood. It was flooded again in 1995, but the school and a few buildings remained until struck by a tornado. A simple stone marker alongside Route B honors the missing town. There is still currently a grain elevator for the local grain growers and a household of three. There is also a small auto repair shop and the remnents of the old city jailhouse. |
